“Whitelabel”

“Whitelabel” is from New York producer Physical Therapy’s new EP for Sinden’s Grizzly label. While his debut EP, Safety Net, riffed on pop themes through rose-tinted drum’n’bass glasses, this new release is situated closer to the happy hardcore end of the dance music spectrum. “Whitelabel” plays up to its title by revealing itself to be a model DJ tool: tough, cheeky and all about the build. Off-setting the bounce, there’s a lovely touch around the four minute mark: a springy whistle that seems to signal the adrenaline release.
